they're real. we all know it, and it's terrible. all of the best designs were presented in pre-release info hoping we'd all be surprised by the shitty ones when the game came out, and the best were pretty mediocre. furbait starters all around, what the fuck is up with the drumming monkey and the tranny lizard? the fox and the purple nigga don't even look like pokemon, they look like characters ripped from a cartoon network show. if these are the pokemon that made it into the final game, i can't imagine how terrible the designs that didn't were. it's all down hill from here
